Even non-psychologists will find this classic test fun. Try saying out loud the colour that each word is printed in, rather than the actual word that is printed - try it as fast as you can and see how many times you stumble

Jokes
Skiing
A psychologist returned from a conference in Aspen lodge, where all the psychologists were permitted to ski for free. Her husband asked her, "How it went?". She replied, "Fine, but I've never seen so many Freudians slip."
Blackboard Drawings
One day Mr. Wilson arrived late for his year 10 Biology lesson to find a rather uncomplimentary drawing of himself on the blackboard.
Mr. Wilson was furious! "Who is responsible for this atrocity?"
The boy in the front row won tremendous prestige with his answer "I really don't know, but I strongly suspect its parents!"
Misunderstanding
A man walked into the supermarket and noticed an attractive lady waving at him. She walked over to him and said hello.
The man was a little puzzled because he couldn't place her. She could clearly see he was confused so said "I think you're the father of one of my children".
He lets his mind travel back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and replies, "Oh my God are you the stripper from my stag party that I made love to on the pool table with everyone watching?!"
Stifling a smile she replied calmly, "No. I'm your son's teacher"
This CBBC game requires players to identify the effects of certain lifestyle choices including smoking, taking drugs and eating fast food. An ideal accompaniment to early PSHE lessons

Customer questionnaire results
A few years ago, we sent a questionnaire to teachers in both the primary and secondary sectors to fill in anonymously. Whilst having a clear out recently, we came across the answers. They have no commercial value whatsoever, but we thought you might find the cynicism of some teachers quite amusing. NB the length of time in teaching is given after each quote!
